    Kelsey M.

    Things started off great with Baky then went completely south to the point where we would not feel comfortable having him in our home after he threatened my husband on the phone. When we first started communicating with him he was super responsive, started the project ahead of schedule then after we paid him, he never finished the project ($8k of unfinished work) and completely stopped communicating. After a month of radio silence, we sent him an email detailing what we paid for that wasn't complete. He was extremely unprofessional in his response (see attached screenshots of emails and texts) blaming us saying we changed the scope of work. We finally got him to agree to come out and finsh the project on Sept 12 and he never came. We had to follow up again and he agreed to come the week of the 23rd and again was a no show. The biggest battle has been a glass installation. When Baky and his crew came to install the glass, he realized he didn't have enough guys for the install. HE OFFERED to take back the glass and reimburse for the original estimate because "it's a standard size that we use all the time." After months of radio silence from him, we kept asking when we were going to get a check for the incomplete work (again 8k). He finally responded and agreed to reimburse and not finish the $8k worth of work. Then he told us Juan would drop off the check on Monday. We asked for how much and he said $4k. Even though he agreed to fully reimburse for incomplete work. He changed his mind and said the glass is still sitting in his warehouse and would send a check for the remaining $4k once he found a project for it. So we said we would just move forward with the original scope and install the glass. Juan showed up on Monday with no check. He said he would follow up on weekend with glass install for the following week. We asked him to send it and he said he would on Thursday after we followed up 3 times. Shocker, he never sent the check Thursday. We reached out again on Monday (after not hearing from him) asking about the check and day of glass install. He called my husband and over 15 times told him to "go f*ck yourself" and kept calling him entitled. How does wanting a job you paid for completed make you entitled? And what kind of "professional" talks to his clients like that? Finally got the check 2 weeks later and it bounced. He actually apologized and said he would send us a Quickpay that day (why couldn't he have done this months ago) and it took him another 2 days (after we followed up) to actually send it. He finally had someone install the glass on Oct 9th. Other issues: -we had him install new AC units and they didn't work when it was 100 degrees outside. They had to come back the next day to fix them. The installer admitted to "rushing the work." They also burnt our turf but didn't tell us. We had them come back to patch the burn and area where the ac units were. The burn spot matched our turf perfectly but the large area where the AC units were isn't even close and looks horrible. (See image) -He had a guy from task rabbit show up (without telling us) to install our TV and it looks so bad. He couldn't figure it out so just kept nailing more wood to try and support it. -charged us for 10 trees, we only got 8 -all the grasses he installed were dead immediately or died shortly after. He said he would replace but never did. -never installed the light in our pergola that we paid for. -suggested to "cover a wall" with a chalkboard. He brought over a chalkboard that was smaller than a door for a very large wall (see image) and was going to charge us $1470 for it. Then he got pissed at us for saying we didn't want it because it was not at all what he explained and would have looked horrible. It's unfortunate that our relationship ended so poorly with Baky after started off so well. We have learned the hard way to never pay for work ahead of time. I'm attaching screenshots of emails and texts from Baky to prove how unprofessional, emotional and inconsistent he is. In my opinion it's all about expectations. You can't go from responding at all hours, immediately (which is not what I expect) to not responding for months after being paid and not think your clients are going to follow up. Also, we get that he squeezed us in to start the project but if you can't finish it for a couple months then just let us know. We certainly wouldn't have paid in advanced had we known.

    Ilan and his team have been remodeling and improving our house for many years over several projects…read moreincluding new kitchen, master bath, general updating and painting. Our family has been very pleased with the high quality of their work and attention to detail. The finishes have been very pleasing and we get compliments on the work all the time. His pricing is competitive and the craftsman who do the work are easy to get along with during long major projects. Ilan's team is the only one we will use for future remodels and I highly recommend him and his company.

    I purchased a coop and will be doing multiple jobs over the next two years - including a new…read morebathroom and kitchen. I was starting with a smaller job first involving multiple carpentry related items. It's a good way to assess whether I'd use the contractor again for the more complex kitchen and bath. My HOA must approve any contractor before work commences and requires that they be licensed in Chicago, Insured, and bonded. Chicago Partners claims to be so on their website and confirmed that to me in person. IIan was very charming, knowledgeable, and initially quite responsive. His quote was detailed and helpfully assigned a dollar amount per task, as I'd requested. Unfortunately, as another reviewer noted, the proposal included language that would waive and indemnify Chicago Construction for any damage, harm, or injuries etc. that Chicago Construction might cause in the course of their work. I spoke to IIan about this and he said he was a lawyer and wrote it himself. I'm certain he did. I managed a contracts office doing over $300 million in business each year - none of my staff would ever approve a waiver that puts 100% of the risk on the client for harm that a contractor might cause. I asked IIan what was the point of requiring a contractor be bonded and insured was if I was going to waive their responsibility anyway? I told him my association wouldn't approve such a waiver. I asked him to strike the language and also to reduce the tasks in the quote. Unfortunately, I never heard back from him. This was in July. I used another contractor to complete the project and am now taking bids for the bathroom. I will not seek a bid from this company.
